FAITH IN ACTION


Yesterday, I wrote about "Faith: Why You Must have it" Today let's see faith in action. Having faith means believing in things, situations that are not visible and as you must know, life is a journey with inner secrets and mysteries. Today I want to share with you the story I found on Internet that illustrates faith in action.

“There was a village where for a long period does not experience rain. The farmers could not plant their crops because there was no rain. One day, the villagers decided to pray for rain, on the day of prayer all the people gathered but only one boy came with an umbrella. The others Villagers were surprised and out of curiosity asked the boy why he came with an umbrella. With confidence, the boy replied, “Since we are going to pray to God for rain and I know and I believe that God answer all prayers, so I came prepared.”

So dear reader, that's Faith in action. Though the Villagers were praying for rain, they did not believe. If they have faith in their prayer they would have come with umbrellas just like the boy. That day, it rained and all the Villagers were soaked in rain except the boy with umbrella.
  In life’s journey, we should learn not only to have faith but put it in action. Faith is the ability to believe, but that ability must be used and acted upon for faith to come alive and work. It does not cost us dime and the benefits are numerous. We should learn to trust God in all we do. We should learn to put our project in God’s hand and trust that he will see us through. We are just like pencil in the hands of God.
Thanks for reading.

INTRODUCTION TO MY BLOG

DAY ONE: Today's Quote:  “I want the world to be better because I was here.” Will Smith  INTRODUCTION TO MY BLOG  As the publisher and Editor-in-Chief of a magazine, I read a lot.  Amongst the things I do and find interesting is reading personal development books, listening to inspiring audio programmes and writing motivational materials. Over the years I have built up quite a wealth of knowledge on the subject of motivation and personal development. The urge to start this blog arise with my belief that there is need for me to contribute my knowledge to the society. We are living in a world and last time when there is almost no safe place on earth. Every day, we wake up with negative news from newspapers, radio and television.   Life in every city has become so stressful and very dangerous. News of violence, wickedness, injustice, threat of terrorist strike, natural disaster, and many others saturate everywhere. It’s like there is no safe place any...

LIFE IS LIKE A RIVER

DAY THREE: Today's Quote: . “Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.” Steve Jobs What a beautiful day, thank you Lord for this day. My topic for today is “life is like a river”. First let's look at the definition of life. Life means the existence of an individual human being or animal. Back to the question, how do I see life? I see life like a river flowing on and on, always changing. Your life begins small, just like drops of rain which turns into small streams and eventually great rivers which flow into ocean.  From birth, we were not given a map or guideline on how to go about life. Because we are ignorant of this journey, we are bound to face challenges and obstacles. Living on earth requires that we must expect the unexpected and be prepared for the unknown. There is nothing you can do about it; it is the nature of life. In life, each of us will face some type of crisis and in most cases; we have no personal control over it. Sadly eno...

WHY YOU MUST COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

DAY TEN: Today's Quote: "It's never too late. Don't focus on what was taken away. Find something to replace it, and acknowledge the blessing you have"-. Drew Barrymore I want to begin by thanking Almighty Lord for my life and for everything and for making me the same person I am today. It's a pity that millions of people go through life searching for the next big thing and trying to be the biggest or the best at everything and they fail to take time and be grateful for the small everyday blessings that God gives in life. Father Lord I just want to say “thank you” I hope today's article will inspire you to be grateful for the good things in your life and stop complaining  about the bad things. WHY YOU MUST COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS: when you look round and take a closer look of yourself, you will agree with me that there are many things to be grateful for. There are so many things to thank God for what he has done for you. If you wake up and you have ...
